So, I've heard from a couple of Epcot CM friends that they have been told Test Track will close for a 6-8 month refurb beginning January 2012. What they don't know (and none of us know) is what that means. Will they just be cleaning and restoring TT as it is? The rumor gaining a lot of traction is a possible Cars re-theme. There's another rumor that it'll stay in the vein of "normal" car testing but with a few new twists. It seems GM is keeping its sponsorship and actually footing some of this bill to gain some new marketing and publicity. The other notion that seems to be firm is that whatever happens the basic ride mechanism and track would stay the same, which is why they could potentially do a complete overhaul in 6-8 months. So, at any rate, I thought I would pass this along. No idea what it means. Just speculation right now. Hopefully we'll see something at D23 or sometime soon.
